Happy Groundhog’s Day!

Thankfully our weather isn’t dictated by a cute furry creature! It was nice however, to have a bright sunny day. Let’s all hope for warmer weather soon, so we can all go outside again.

The kinetic sand is such a big hit. There’s something fun and therapeutic about exploring it. The WF’s can sit there for quite a while manipulating it.

Ms. Linsey placed a tray of popsicle sticks and toy wolves for them to include in their play. Once they were done with that, she got out the kitchen toys.

Breakfast: Corn Chex & pineapple

Lunch: Brown rice w/ turkey, sugar snap peas, & watermelon

PM Snack: Triscuits & sunflower seeds

Wee Sprouts: Sugar snap peas

Have a wonderful rest of your day!

It’s February!

This is our welcome activity today. We brought out popsicle sticks, cylinders, and bears. The rest of it was up to their imaginations in what they would create. We would say they are a pretty creative group.

We had an impromptu WF band this morning. One friend wanted to play the instruments, and the rest quickly followed. Some of them even added a song and dance with their music.

Breakfast: Oatmeal & raisins

Lunch: Farm eggs, whole wheat tortillas, green beans/cucumbers, and pineapple

PM Snack: Corn chips w/ hummus

Wee Sprouts: Cucumbers & green beans

Happy last day of January.  The month sure seemed to fly by.

This morning our friends were engaged with the new bean bags.  Miss Bekah found some different bean bag songs for us to do that we’ve heard before, but haven’t done in a while. We danced to the Beanie Bag Dance and the Bean Bag Boogie by Greg and Steve. We used our listening skills to follow along and place our bag on the part of our body the song told us to.

We then headed into the kitchen to engage in a new sensory experience with ice cubes, a frozen sponge and a variety of different animals. We were all busy exploring the feel of the ice in our hands or in our mouth. Some of us felt how stiff our sponge was when it was frozen. We then used it to clean our animals or blot and soak up the puddles of water on our trays as the ice cubes began to melt.  We all loved it!

Eleanor rolled over to her side while playing on her playmat.

Breakfast:  Whole grain Cheerios and fresh oranges.

Lunch:  Refried beans and shredded cheddar cheese on whole grain wheat tortillas, fresh apple slices and orange bell pepper slices.

Afternoon Snack:  Whole grain wheat English muffins with Peanut butter and fresh orange bell pepper slices.

I hope you all were able to enjoy some sunshine today.  Have a great evening!

Fabulous Friday!

The kinetic sand was such a huge success that Ms. Linsey brought it back. This time she brought in acorns, silver trays, and natural bowls for them to include in their explorations. Hannah made acorn soup with hers. Others formed theirs into balls to be “candy.”

The art table was empty, so Ms. Linsey got out pieces of cardboard and tempera paint. She poured blue, yellow, and red  paint into the trays. Our friends did several paintings using these colors. Some of them even mixed them together to create other colors.

Breakfast: Brown rice cakes & banana

Lunch: Wheat flatbread w/ chicken lunchmeat, carrots, & watermelon

PM Snack: Pretzels & block cheese

Wee Sprout: carrot chips

Good Afternoon!

We began our morning by building with Magna-Tiles.  Friends were very focused as they were creating their Magna-Tile building creations.  Several friends added Little People to their buildings.

Eliza and Hannah were busy rolling/tossing their balls with Miss Bekah.

Since the air temperature with the real feel was too cold for our little bodies, we brought snow inside for us to experience.  We added animals, Little People, vehicles and a bowl to enhance our play in it.  Several friends mentioned their hands were cold when they were finished playing in it, so we warmed them up.

Breakfast: Corn Chex cereal with fresh orange slices.

Lunch: Whole grain brown rice with butter and red beans, fresh pineapple and cucumbers.

Afternoon Snack: Sunflower seeds and Triscuits.

Have a terrific evening!
